Material and Performance: Luxion® Crystal — Resistant and Transparent
The Luxion® crystal used by RCR offers superior crystalline transparency and light refraction that enhances every beverage. Thanks to its patented formula, the crystal is resistant to impact and mechanical stress typical of intensive use in professional kitchens and dining rooms. The crystal structure also ensures excellent thermal resistance, ideal for fast service with very hot or cold beverages.
Geometric Contemporary Design: Precise Cuts and Essential Lines
The geometric lines of the UNIVERSUM collection reflect a modern aesthetic that integrates with any mise en place, from classical to minimalist. The precise cuts on the bowl create light interplay that highlights the colour of the beverage, transforming each glass into a scenic element. This aesthetic pursuit, combined with solid construction, makes UNIVERSUM the preferred choice of professional sommeliers and maître d'hôtels for high-end service.

Both variants are made of Luxion® crystal and maintain the same characteristics of brilliance, transparency and resistance. The 43 cl glass is ideal for water and long cocktails; the 55 cl glass is perfect for still wines (red, white, rosé) and sparkling wines in formal pairings.
Practicality in Professional Dishwashers
The UNIVERSUM collection is completely dishwasher safe for professional use, an essential requirement for foodservice. Luxion® crystal does not yellow with repeated cycles and maintains its original brilliance even after thousands of washes at high temperature. This durability allows for rapid return on investment in high-volume foodservice establishments.

UNIVERSUM glassware naturally coordinates with porcelain tableware and 18/10 stainless steel cutlery, creating a coherent and refined mise en place. To complete the service, F.lli Fontana Hotellerie offers the 2.6 Litre Enamelled Tin Carafe for water and the Zafferano Fruit Carafe for an even more elegant presentation.
